Hi everyone! Today I am going to show you how to make a Mardi Gras wreath for about $5. My main reason for doing this is to use up all mom’s beads so she won’t make us all pose with them.
Mom bought the foam wreath and the mask at Dollar Tree. We had the ribbon and the beads. but you can get those things at the same store.
All you have to do is wrap the wreath with some ribbon. We had gold, but green or purple will work too. You could also skip the ribbon and use all beads. I would like to add more beads, but I think mom hid some to torture us with.
And I know you all want to know if Rosie saw her shadow.
Actually, she has 2 shadows. I am not sure what that means.
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Next week I will show you how to make Valentine’s gifts. I will also be hosting a Valentine’s Day giveaway.
Stop by tomorrow for our special cross over event.
What a great craft. Love Mardi Gras wreath
By the way if Miss fortune teller is still employed we did your 4 pile card trick. Our numbers were: 1st pile – Ace, 2nd pile – 10, 3rd pile – 9, 4th pile – 2. What do the cards mean?
Thank you. I need to know the suit of the cards too and I will tell you. XO
Penny it was so wonderful to see you look at the camera this time so we could get a full view of your beautiful face! Rosie I don’t know about any shadows but you sure look cute in the picture! 🙂 <3
Thank you. XO
Very cool and festive, Penny! Laissez les bon temps rouler! XO
Thank you. Merci! XO
What a great idea! We don’t have any Mardi Gras goodies to work with but that is a clever way to do a beautiful wreath!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. XO
Oh no! I can’t see any photos today, just little squares where they should be.
Darn! Sorry about that. XO
ROSIE! It’s a sign for sure, but you will have to tell us what you are forecasting! And hurry.
We don’t know what it means. 🙂 XO
That sure is a pretty wreath sweet Penny!
Thank you. 🙂
What a cool wreath, Penny! Very interesting that Rosie has 2 shadows. 🤨
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Most welcome! 😉
Great idea for a wreath. I shadow is six more weeks of winter…hope 2 doesn’t mean 12 weeks!
Thank you. I hope not either. 🙂
Penny I love x 100 your mom’s wreath. Well done Ellen I think it looks like a million bucks!
Rosie. OMCs one cat and 2 spares.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. XO
You’re so talented, Penny. What a cute wreath. Well done.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a hug to mom. ♥
Thank you. XO
Aw… such a sweet wreath and photos too! You all look so pretty with the beads on, it is only temporary. SMILE & MEOW!
Thank you.
Cool wreath! The two shadows is interesting and something to think about for sure!
Thank you. 🙂
I hope Rosie isn’t telling us we’ll have twice as much winter as usual.
I hope she isn’t either. 🙂 XO
Pretty wreath!!!
We’re not sure what the two shadows mean!!

Thank you. 🙂 XO
What a great idea. That wreath is so nice.
Thank you. XO
A Mardi Gras Wreath! What a great idea! Too bad Mom already put out the Valentine wreath…maybe next year…We can’t wait for next week. Thanks for visiting us and we always love your comments! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
Thank you. We love visiting you and we love when you visit us. XO
The dual shadows and your comment, “Don’t know what that means” caused me to laugh out loud. Cool wreath!
Glad we made you laugh. Thank you. XO
Fun way to use up leftover ribbon! Have a great day!
Thank you. Hope you had a great day too.
We love that wreath. You might even have tempted Mom to try making one.
We know that Phil saw his shadow and that means 6 more weeks of winter. We only want that to be true if we can get some snow.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
We hope she makes one. We always have 6 more weeks of winter. 🙂 XO
Penny we really like that idea! What fun and easy too. If Rosie has two shadows does that cancel out that Groundhog lout?
Thank you. Not sure what it means. XO
How did Rosie do that??? Love your wreath!
2 lights shining on her. 🙂 Thank you.
Two shadows…does that mean 12 more weeks of winter? OMC…we really hope not! The wreath is terrific. Thanks for sharing. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, angel Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer & Kizmet
Could be? Thank you. XO
As many beads as we have around here, i need to try that.
Two shadows means we better just take what we can get and be thankful!
Yes, you should. 🙂
It’s nice to think of Spring, but no matter what, there is a fair piece of Winter to get through first!
Good point. 🙂 I like winter.
Penny,
Looks like a great DIY project to put things to a better use instead of torturing kitties with, right? lol Your mom loves to dress you up, so enjoy it because you know she does!
Thank you. 🙂 XO
